Yep, I ordered on the 7th and mine went "shipping soon" early this morning.

Thanks. Guess that means it won't be long.

Mine's still reading, "Not yet shipped. We'll notify you via e-mail when we have an estimated delivery date for this item. It will ship separately. You can cancel at any time."

Ordered August 5th, and had it delivered about an hour ago. The Kindle 3 is *really* sleek, and the screen is a huge improvement over my Kindle 1. Comparing the two side-by-side, the difference is just amazing.

I set up my wi-fi, tried out the browser, created some collections, and added a few books. So far I'm impressed with all the new options, and collections seem to do the work of folders pretty well. I'm going to let it charge for the full 3 hours before I use it off the charger the first time.

I don't have any problems with the page turn buttons or the d-pad. I do have to look over my glasses to see what keys I'm pressing. I may need a bit stronger light in here.

So far the only real negative is that AT&T's signal strength in my areas seriously sucks. I get one tiny bar in 3G and it's sloooow. The 3G from Sprint on my K1 is much much better. Thankfully my wi-fi connection is stable and quick.

Overall reaction

Edit: Oh, and I put it in the cover, turned off all the lights, and tried out the built-in light. It's going to take some getting used to, but I think it'll work well. I'll try it out further tonight.

I ordered mine yesterday, the 31st. No delivery date on the Kindle yet, but the case has already arrived! whoa.

Hate to say it but you may be in for a bit of a wait. I ordered mine on Aug. 7 and still no word, but hang in there. The Kindle 2 is a fantastic reader, and I'm fully persuaded from what I've read that the K3 will be worth the wait!

And WELCOME to MobilRead!

I received today 9/1 and I was ordered on 8/2.

I'm not sure if it helped me or not, but I went ahead and upgraded to Amazon Prime (you can do a free 30 day trial) and that *may* have made a difference.

It can't hurt to try it...

TenaciousBadger · 09-02-2010, 06:37 AM

well, i finally got the delivery email. yey! i was sure i would because they'd already debited my account.
the downside you ask? have i mentioned i apparently live in outer space? because it'll only get here on the 8th

ah, ordered on August 5.
oh well, at least it's coming...

WT Sharpe · 09-02-2010, 09:19 AM

Last night my status changed from "Not Yet Shipped" to "Shipping Soon." (Ordered Aug. 7.)

Vivan · 09-02-2010, 09:48 AM

Meh - I ordered one the day they were announced but then got cold feet and cancelled it. I re-ordered yesterday but I don't really expect to be getting it before October.

fowler002 · 09-02-2010, 02:12 PM

the pre-orders started being taken just a day or two before I was due to return from my holiday in america(I live in england, uk but was in america 21st june - 29th july), I was tempted to place the pre-order(on amazon.co.uk) but stopped myself tho not for too long as I pre-ordered on 9th august(went with the wifi only version).

when I pre-ordered it was saying on/before 8th september as the estimated dispatch date, but I got the dispatch email today and it should arrive tomorrow(I have prime and chose the expidiated method). the departure scan(milton keyenes) was 4hours ago(2.09pm uk time), currently saying in transit(being delivered by city link).

now just need books for it. got soul identity recently as saw it in the free kindle books for august thread on here, missed out on the big list of(mainly canadian related) free books on the uk store before they were taken down(only found this forum in the last few weeks).

I ordered on the 13th. It went to shipping soon today

hdsport82 · 09-02-2010, 03:28 PM

Ordered 6th, shipped yesterday, received today, very happy!

cvkemp · 09-02-2010, 04:31 PM

Just noticed that Amazon is saying now order today and get it by the 20th. I ordered on 8/27 when it said get it by the 17th. I am hoping to get it before then but not holding my breath. Just checked and it is still the same will notify when shipping is available but my cover is here. What good is the cover with no kindle.
